These stairs were the way down from a mogote. We scrambled almost straight up a narrow rocky path, walked through a cave complete with sleeping bats, then out and down.
It was a good trip.

Please note, I did look up mogote as the singular of mogotes. I can't believe everything I read on The Interchoobs, though, so if someone knows the singular for a fact, please tell me.

All i can say...is i hope you did this in daylight! And- it would be an interesting and mysterious setting for a story.....
What a great adventure there. Indy Jones has nothing on you.
Dawn, oh yes we did. The cave wasn't too dark for the most part. Both husband and I had flashlights ( we were the only ones) so we illuminated the short dark bit for everyone else. I'm terrified of heights so the staircase was the worst part for me.
David, thank you so much. And yes it was.
A place i wouldn't mind exploring, and #2 Son would have a ball there.
Looks like an endurance test to me! But a pretty one.
(yes, mogote is correct. At least, according to my dictionary.)
Messymimi, I hope you get there someday.
Bag Lady, thanks for checking the dictionary for me. I'm lazy.
It was difficult climbing up for me, but I am grateful it was at or near sea level. Made a difference. Down was just plain terrifying.
That is a pretty scary looking set of stairs. Good for you for being up for the challenge though.
Thanks, Reb. It was difficult, but then again, I had no choice.
You're my kind of traveler. It isn't all about resorts and fruity drinks delivered by tip-seeking locals, is it?
Chris, it sure isn't. I don't mind a day or two of that here and there, but I want to see the country I visit and experience what it has to offer.
I would love to explore this area!
It certainly looks an adventure, Leah. You do find some cool places on your travels. Great photo.
Oh I don't like heights and I just don't think I could do that.. good for you for taking it on.
